The Wire is not only the best programme on television again but, amazingly, even better than the first series
Gritty, utterly involving cop show. A dozen slices of brilliance.
I found this a lot better than the first series, probably helped by the fact i already knew the characters. Plot lines and acting are fantastic, not a bad actor among them. I cannot recommend this enough. I am not a fan of 'cop' shows, but this and The Shield are the only ones worth watching.
This is the cop show to watch. Again, like series 1, takes a little while to get going, but once it does, you'll be addicted. Quite possibly the best cop show since the David Caruso episodes of NYPD Blue 94/95 and at times, incredibly funny.
Interesting in that the black drug dealers from series 1 take a real back seat to Polish dockers in this series, but the groundwork for their full time return in series 3 is laid as series 2 reaches its climax.
The acting is superb and Omar, the gay black gangster who steals from the drug gangs, is one of the most memorable tv characters of recent years.
